The freezing temperatures over the past week caused my big pond to freeze over for eight days. This resulted in the death of 2 large fish. Additionally, my barrel of 12 baby fish also froze solid, so those fish have also presumable died – rest in peace. Every year fish die over the Winter – it’s an inevitable part of keeping fish outdoors. Subscribe to my main channel: http://www.youtube.com Thanks for watching!Video Rating: 4 / 5

Dude!! How could you leave them (the barrel fish) out there in the open! I have a barrel pond which I moved to the patio as it’s sheltered under a roof as well as being partially enclosed next to the house. It formed a layer of ice last night as it snowed in London but never froze.

If you have a barrel pond then move it next to the house, maybe even into the house or some kind of shelter as it will freeze in the winter.

Those fish shouldn’t have died if the pond was deep enough. It is NOT inevitable of fish dying every winter outdoors- do you think someone would buy a 2000 dollar fish just to have it die in the winter?
